“Last'week,” said a Wellington tobacconist to one of his “regulars,” a new chum, fresh from the Old Dart, happened along, and we got yarning. What surprised him most was our shops. ‘Why,’ he said, ‘they’re up to London form, some of ’em —’specially the tobacco shops.’ ’Course I agreed. Well, he wanted a bit of tobacco, something ‘extra special.’ So I asked had he tried New Zealand? ‘What’s that?’ says he. I told him. ‘Didn’t know there was any New Zealand tobacco,’ he says. I had to laugh. ‘Easy to se6 you’re a limejuicer, ’ I said. Well, I recommended a tin of Cut Plug No. .10 (Bullshead), and he’s been in twice since for more!” “Can’t beat Cut Plug No. 10,” said the customer addressed, “unless it’s Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold or Desert Gold. It’s just a matter of the strength, you prefer. ” “ And,, mind you,” said the weed merchant, “there’s next to no nicotine in those . five brands. You can smoke them as freely as you jolly well please. ‘Toasted’ can’t hurt you.” 412 Just the thing for wet weather — Goloshes and Gumboots for Ladies and Children, now showing at Carpenter & Evans’ Quality Shoe Store. *
